RE: [GD-Design] Design Documents

[Matthew N. <Ma...@re...>]

I don't really have an answer to your questions but I have one to add :-)

How long and how detailed are people's design docs generally? I personally
feel that our design docs could do with being a little longer and more in
depth but I don't know how they compare to those used elsewhere in the
industry. I read in the Deus Ex post mortem that their design doc ran to
hundreds of pages, which is rather more detail than we have in ours...
